Fully reproducible Jenkins builds
Artifactory stores exhaustive build information including specific artifact versions, modules, dependencies, system properties, environment variables, user information, timestamps and more. With this information, it's easy to reproduce a build within your CI environment reliably at any time.
Compare builds
Built-in “Diff” tools let you compare Jenkins builds, and therefore know exactly what changes were introduced from one version to another. This invaluable capability helps you track down bugs that were reported in specific versions released.
Release management
Using any build tool (eg: Maven or Gradle), create and deploy releases to Artifactory while automating VCS tagging and branching. Once in Artifactory, promote your releases through staging all the way to your production systems. Use file specs to define artifacts and build dependencies to create fully automated generic build pipelines.
Docker Image Management and Deployment
Leverage Jenkins CI to build Docker images and push them to JFrog Artifactory’s Docker registry. This integration supports automated tagging, versioning, and promotion of Docker images, making it easy to manage containerized applications throughout the CI/CD lifecycle.
Automated Security Scanning with JFrog Xray
Automate vulnerability and license compliance scanning of Jenkins build artifacts by integrating with JFrog Xray. This feature allows you to trigger Xray scans automatically after builds, ensuring that only secure and compliant artifacts are promoted and deployed.
Multi-Platform and Multi-Language Support:
The Jenkins-JFrog integration supports a wide range of build tools, languages, and platforms, including Java, Node.js, Python, .NET, and more. This flexibility allows you to use a single CI/CD pipeline for diverse technology stacks, all managed through JFrog Artifactory.
Advanced Caching for Dependency Resolution:
Use JFrog Artifactory with Jenkins to cache dependencies (e.g., Maven, npm, Gradle) locally, speeding up build times by reducing the need to repeatedly fetch dependencies from remote repositories. This integration improves CI efficiency and reduces network load.
Promotion and Staging of Build Artifacts:
The Jenkins and JFrog Artifactory integration supports automated promotion of build artifacts through different stages of the pipeline (e.g., from development to staging to production). This ensures that only tested and approved artifacts are deployed to production environments.
